_________________________________________

Beihai Kingdom, hearing that Gongsun Yi led the Xiao cavalry army, defeated a large number of Yellow Turban troops at a very small cost, and gathered more than 100,000 people to reclaim wasteland and grow food.

Set up a porridge shed and do not give up any of the people, this is not something that can be done by talking, just the daily consumption of food is astronomical, not to mention the gold and silver that costs money like flowing water, many merchants and scholars have moved their minds, if they take out some grain storage and ploughing cattle to trade with the cavalry army, it is a profitable business.

It's just that now due to Kong Rong's strong pressure, no one dares to contact the Xiao cavalry led by Gongsun Yi, and with the passage of time, many merchants and scholars have learned that Gongsun Yi, the general of the hussars, bought grain and cattle from Yanzhou.

If a smooth trade is established, I am afraid that there will be no business for them in the future, and they can't help but actively strengthen the black market, but Kong Rong suddenly sent someone to kill his family, and blamed the bandits, but no one knows whose hand it was, Kong Rong's strong pressure to cut off their financial routes, after all, will break out into fierce resistance one day.

Kong Rong was extremely irritable and flustered in his heart, Gongsun Yi defeated the Yellow Turban Thief and relieved the siege of Beihai Kingdom, it was okay, in Kong Rong's opinion, as an official and army, it should be like this, he didn't owe Gongsun Yi any affection.

It's just that I didn't expect that the captured Yellow Turban Thieves not only did not resist fiercely, but also were successfully pacified and absorbed, and for a while Gongsun Yi's power grew stronger, and it had already surpassed several Beihai countries, if Gongsun Yi was allowed to develop, I am afraid that this Beihai country would not be long after being betrayed by some profit-oriented scholars.

Although Kong Rong does not have the ability to take charge alone, he is very aware of the temperament of these scholars, and has always put the interests of the family first.

I believe that the Xiao cavalry army will inevitably be divided after the lack of Gongsun Yi's leadership, if the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiao cavalry army can be surrendered, then the Beihai country can stand in Qingzhou, and even have a unified Qingzhou to dominate the world, and it is not impossible to help the poor in the future, and rescue His Majesty from Chang'an.

Although Kong Rong is known to be talented and learned, but his heart is ambitious, and he does not have a down-to-earth pragmatic spirit, and soon believes that everything will develop as expected, Kong Rong made up his mind, on the one hand, he united with Taishan County Taishou Ying Shao, intending to attack the Xiao cavalry together, and on the other hand, he sent Jia Zhong as an envoy to invite Gongsun Yi to come to Beihai for a banquet.

Kong Rong has already prepared for the worst, if after killing Gongsun Yi, the Xiao cavalry led by him will take revenge on Tucheng, as long as there is the support of Taishan County Taishou Ying Shao, Pingyuan County Commander Liu Bei and others, those dragonless Xiao cavalry will not be able to set off any storms.

Kong Rong went into the barracks unusually, promoted the generals he had always looked down on, and personally selected capable sword and axe men from them to practice repeatedly, and Jia Zhong was also ordered to set off to Fengxian, where the current Xiao cavalry army was stationed, and a conspiracy against Gongsun Yi began.

*****

When Gongsun Yi saw Jia Zhong, he knew that Kong Rong was likely to set up a Hongmen banquet, but Gongsun Yi still decided to go, not only to prove his open-mindedness, but also to show the whole Qingzhou who is the youngest person.

The reason why Gongsun Yi did not move the Beihai Kingdom was not only because Kong Rong was appointed by the imperial court as the minister of Beihai, although Kong Rong did not govern the surrounding areas well, but he still saved many scholars and people, and these people found it difficult to believe that Gongsun Yi would do better than Kong Rong, and would naturally fight against Gongsun Yi for their own interests.

Kong Rong is a celebrity in the world, known as a good reputation, not only has a set of skills to control people, but also has a lot of connections between the families of his subordinates and the surrounding counties and counties, which can be seen from often sending people to send money and food to Tai Shici's mother.

If Kong Rong made the first move and spread out his reputation, Gongsun Yi would be able to take advantage of the situation to obtain the Beihai Kingdom, but it was dangerous and unpredictable, although Gongsun Yi was not completely sure, but it was worth the risk.

Gongsun Yi was not in a hurry to set off, but found Tai Shi Ci who was about to leave for the first time, Tai Shi Ci was a little puzzled that Gongsun Yi suddenly arrived, although he admired it in his heart, and he had the heart to serve, but his parents were not far away.

If it is under the account of Gongsun Yi, if it is an army to go on an expedition, who should take care of the old mother at home? Although the people in the village respect Tai Shici and take care of his mother, they are always not as good as taking care of Chenghuan in person.

Seeing the arrival of Gongsun Yi, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and Gongsun Yi hugged his fists and saluted back: "General Tai Shi Wan Wanghaihan, I have sent hundreds of sergeants to Donglai County to bring the general's mother to Fengxian County, although the bandits have been eliminated at this time, it is difficult to say that the remnants of the thieves will not fight the idea of Donglai County, which has weak troops." ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, at first a little stunned, but then relieved, Gongsun Yi said this is true, Donglai County is Kong Rong's sphere of influence, there are only a few hundred soldiers defending the city, and the combat effectiveness is weak.

And most of those county soldiers were thieves and fled as soon as they arrived, Kong Rong, as the minister of Beihai, didn't care about the life or death of the counties outside Beihai at all, Gongsun Yi could deign to send someone to pick up his mother, so there was really no reason to be angry with such courtesy.

Tai Shici hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Gongsun for your kindness." ”

"General Taishi really doesn't hide it, not long ago, Master Kong sent a messenger to invite me to Beihai City for a banquet, since it is requested by Beihai Minister, naturally I can't invite and not go, if General Taishi is willing, can you go with me."

Tai Shi Ci's heart moved, and he didn't rush to answer, Kong Rong's intention was too obvious, now that the Xiao cavalry army is strong, and it has faintly suppressed the Beihai Kingdom, I am afraid that it won't be long before the entire Qingzhou will fall to Gongsun Yi, seeing this dilemma, only by solving Gongsun Yi can it be done once and for all.

It's just that such an obvious Hongmen banquet, with Gongsun Yi's wisdom, must have seen it clearly, and he actually planned to go without hesitation, it can only be said that his courage is commendable, since he was invited to go with him, it is naturally a great trust.

"Kindness." Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and said, which can be regarded as a promise.

"If you have to go with the general, even if Kong Rong wants to do harm, he is not afraid." Gongsun Yi said with a hearty smile.

Jia Zhong, the Kongrong envoy who was in the house, walked back and forth, not long ago, he was still complaining in his heart that Gongsun Yi dared to arrange him in such a humble residence, and he didn't even want to sit down, so as not to stain his Shu forging robe, but Gongsun Yi didn't return for a long time, Jia Zhong suddenly panicked, could it be that Gongsun Yi had already guessed that this was a Hongmen banquet, if so, wouldn't it be a worry about his life.

Jia Zhong became more and more irritable, and kept knocking on the doors and windows with hideous faces, and suddenly the door opened, and two tiger-backed and cold-eyed horsemen stepped in and stared at Jia Zhong.

Jia Zhong was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly changed his clothes, and said apologetically: "I just want to ask when Lord Gongsun will set off?" ”

"Naturally, I'll call you then, stay honest." One of the horsemen said a few words, then walked out and closed the gate again.

Jia Zhong scolded in his heart, but in the face of the murderous cavalry just now, his whole body trembled, sure enough, this messenger was a drudgery, and he would definitely add fuel and vinegar when he went back, so that Master Kong would give more benefits.

Jia Zhong didn't wait too long, Gongsun Yi summoned him, and the team set off quickly, there were only seven or eight people in light clothes, which was less than the team of the envoys who came with Jia Zhong, Jia Zhong was determined, it seemed that the plan had been accomplished, and he was constantly thinking about how to ask for the most benefits from Kong Rong while sitting in the carriage.

But Jia Zhong didn't know that these seven guards were carefully selected from nearly 20,000 Xiao cavalry troops, not only were they officers, but their combat effectiveness was amazing, enough to be one as ten, and with Tai Shici to follow, Kong Rong wanted to take Gongsun Yi down, but it was not as simple as he imagined.

Beihai City, known as Xuantian, is not only geographically dangerous, fertile soil, is one of the richest places in Qingzhou, although Kong Rong's ability is not enough to take charge alone, but the use of the land of Beihai country, not only can deal with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's request for money and food, and can gather volunteers to repel bandits.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the land was barren and people's hearts were floating, and being able to live in a stable city was tantamount to a kind of happiness.

When Gongsun Yi arrived, Kong Rong personally led a group of scholars and merchants in Beihai to greet him outside the city, seeing that he only brought a few people to come, everyone looked at each other, Kong Rong was overjoyed, it seems that this Gongsun Yi is nothing more than this, and his heart is becoming more and more contemptuous.

Gongsun Yi stepped forward and saluted, looked Kong Rong up and down, Qingqi ancient appearance, thick eyebrows and green beard, a Confucian costume is very decent and elegant, worthy of being one of the seven sons of Jian'an, just this bearing, is not comparable to ordinary people.

"The hussar general is here, it really makes the Beihai country shine, please." Kong Rong chuckled and invited.

"Not busy." Gongsun Yi waved his hand slightly, and saluted a group of Beihai scholars before, especially a soldier who was standing not far away in military uniform and carrying a sword at his waist hugged his fists and said: "Ying Taishou can appreciate the light, my Gongsun Yi has a really big face." ”

The soldier in military uniform didn't expect that the hussar general Gongsun Yi would notice him, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Taishan County is too shou Ying Shao, and I have seen the hussar general." ”

Gongsun Yi said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you should be too conservative and ancient, both civil and military, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely be closer and closer." ”

Ying Shao secretly glanced at Kong Rong, whose face was pale, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The lower officials are afraid, it is really an honor to be able to talk about the scriptures with the hussar general, and please enter the city as soon as possible, so as not to have cold food and wine." ”

"Everyone, please." Gongsun Yi once again greeted a group of Shiliu merchants, these people hurriedly returned the salute, and their hearts were excited because of Gongsun Yi's courtesy, who would have thought that the high-ranking hussar general would notice them, in stark contrast to Kong Rong's arrogance and coldness, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

Kong Rong's face was pale, these Shiliu businessmen didn't take him, the lord of Beihai City, in their eyes at all, they dared to be so close to Gongsun Yi, Gongsun Yi was even more noisy, as if he was the lord of Beihai Kingdom, Kong Rong had already moved to kill in his heart.
